MEXICO CITY (AP) — A photographer for the Mexican investigative magazine Proceso, who had fled his home state after being harassed, was among five people found slain early Saturday in an apartment in Mexico City, according to the magazine.
<br/><br/>The body of Ruben Espinosa, who collaborated with Proceso and other media, was identified by a family member at the morgue Saturday afternoon, Proceso reported, adding that he had two gunshot wounds.
<br/><br/>Espinosa had recently gone into self-exile from the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, where he felt under threat, according to Proceso. His family had lost contact with him on Friday and by Saturday the free speech advocacy group Article 19 had called on Mexican authorities to activate the protocols for locating a missing journalist.
<br/><br/>He was found dead with four women, three of whom lived in the apartment in the middle-class Narvarte neighborhood near the center of the city, according to the Mexico City prosecutor's office. The fourth woman was a domestic employee, the prosecutor's statement said. It said identifications and cause of death were still being verified.
<br/><br/>Veracruz has been a dangerous state for reporters. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 11 journalists have been killed there since 2010, all under Gov. Javier Duarte, the most recent just a month ago. Two others, including Espinosa, were Veracruz journalists found dead outside of the state.
<br/><br/>Article 19 on Saturday called the killing of Espinosa a new level of violence against journalists in Mexico, as he was first to be killed while in exile in Mexico City. Many reporters under threat in their home states have taken refuge in the capital, where the federal government has set up an agency to help such journalists.
<br/><br/>The advocacy group said in an article that the killing occurred &quot;without authorities charged with protecting journalists lifting a finger to help Espinosa.&quot;
<br/><br/>Article 19 said it published an alert about Espinosa June 15 after he reported unknown people following him, taking his photograph and harassing him outside his home in Xalapa, the capital of Veracruz.

I hear that La Linea is now a splinter group from Cartel de Juarez and they no longer work for the Carrillo family.
<br/><br/>The Aztecas and state and municipal police control Ciudad Juarez for La Linea, but they have their own people in the Valle de Juarez, where they have driven out CDS. La Linea has also taken over Chihuahua City and the northern Sierra around Creel and is heavily disputing Gpe y Calvo.

<br/><br/>The decision was revealed this Friday in the trial of amparo 712/2015, in which he demanded the protection of the federal courts, and among other authorities, the Secretary of the Ministry of Interior.
<br/><br/>The Attorney General's Office (PGR) announced that he has a pending request from the US Government to deliver Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera to US authorities, where he is accused of committing offenses such as organized crime.
<br/><br/>Alledgedly, the charges recently brought against the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel are not related to any other already existing cases or any that have already been tried in Mexico.
<br/><br/>Guzmán Loera escaped on July 11 from the Altiplano maximum security prison, which is located in the municipality of Amoloya de Juárez, in Mexico State.

Peace or death resulting from agreements between drug trafficking organizations
<br/><br/>Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua.- After being considered the most violent and dangerous city in the world (came to record 30 executions daily), Ciudad Juarez appears to fall in relative tranquility but has been broken due to members of Los Aztecas, armed wing of the Juarez Cartel, locating and killing the last members of the Sinaloa cartel that for years they have fought for the plaza.
<br/><br/>This war according to reports from journalists, authorities and members of Los Aztecas, seems to have come to an end in recent months due to the Sinaloa Cartel being weaken in the area, thus the Juarez Cartel recovering the domain that is considered by the DEA one of the most important corridor for drug trafficking.
<br/><br/>&quot;Last week we killed 20 Chapos and we will keep on killing them until they leave here,&quot; a member of Los Aztecas, who asked to be identified as El Comandante Diablo.
<br/><br/>The war between the Sinaloa and Juarez Cartel, led by La Linea and its armed wing Los Aztecas, began to decline from the arrest of Joaquin Guzman Loera in February 2014.
<br/><br/>It was then that the plans of Chapo Guzman and his people known as Los Pelones and Los Chapos were cancelled, who fought the territory of Chihuahua, left without a leader and began to fall one by one into the hands of Los Aztecs.
<br/><br/>End of plan
<br/><br/>According to confidential information disclosed to Ríodoce it was in mid-2012 that La Linea and people of Joaquin El Chapo Guzman, came to a truce and divided Ciudad Juarez in order to stop the violence, that between 2010 and 2011 claimed the lives of 10,907 civilians and police officers in that state.
<br/><br/>People of Chapo Guzman would get the part from downtown Ciudad Juarez and eastward, including the Juarez Valley, while to the west part would be for La Linea and for the Los Aztecas.
<br/><br/>So both cartels began to work, each on their side, so that by 2012 the number of homicides dropped to 2,259, and in 2013 dropped to 1,794, far from the 6,407 registered in 2010, according to the Attorney General of the State (PGJE) in Chihuahua.
<br/><br/>Outside &quot;the usual settling of debts&quot;, everything had calmed down in 2013, until February 2014, Joaquin El Chapo Guzman was arrested in the city of Mazatlan.
<br/><br/>Then, they say, people of La Linea and Los Aztecas, retook control of the eastern part of the city, and quietly began to locate and execute Los Chapos and Los Pelones, while the others were arrested or killed by the authorities.
<br/><br/>&quot;What is said in the underworld is that by April this year, the Juarez Cartel regained control of the entire city, and that those who remain of Sinaloa, were gradually located, killed and disappeared&quot; Said a reporter for Nota Roja of that city, who declined to be identified by name.
<br/><br/>He said: What was once 300 deaths a month, and being afraid because people in these two groups are being killed all the time, now we cover 30 deaths per month, and although it is not as quiet as one would like, itself feels less pressure.
<br/><br/>In that regard, the reporter noted that sometimes the dead are within same criminal group Los Aztecas, maintaining control of undocumented traffic, prostitution and selling drugs. They kill people from the same group that are not following orders, or &quot;trying to be smart&quot;.
<br/><br/>&quot;The authorities call them isolated deaths, that the Juarez Cartel isn't having encounters with people from Sinaloa anymore, that even the Aztecs say that almost all left for their homeland,&quot; said the reporter.
<br/><br/>The relative calmness of having a murder a day
<br/><br/>Liliana Gomez, who works as a manager of a popular restaurant in the city, said that calmness is too obvious these days of 2015, compared with the constant clashes that occurred five years ago.
<br/><br/>&quot;I had to see a man killed; my mom and I were in the car waiting for the traffic light to change and there was also someone next to us waiting in his car, when a truck came by, and several armed men got out; the man next door, who saw them by the side, tried to flee on foot but was shot and fell dead next to us, &quot;said the young restaurateur.
<br/><br/>Other families like Alvarado Sanchez, seeing the war without truce that originated in the streets, preferred to migrate to other entities, including the United States, in order not to be collateral victims. At all hours, blood stained the streets.
<br/><br/>&quot;My dad took us to Leon, Guanajuato because of fear that something would happen to us, you could not go anywhere; many businesses and restaurants began to close because they could not stand living here.&quot; said Raul Sanchez Alvarado, who returned in mid-2012 to Ciudad Juarez, once the war had calmed down.
<br/><br/>Origins of war
<br/><br/>When Joaquin El Chapo Guzman escaped from prison in January 2001, he was hidden in El Cielo, a small farm located in the sierra, near La Tuna, Badiraguato, from where he was born.
<br/><br/>Without the power he had when arrested, he was supported by Arturo Beltran Leyva, with whom he had a friendship for years, and Ismael El Mayo Zambada, they supported him to return to the business.
<br/><br/>Visionary as he was, he needed territory to cross drugs into the U.S.
<br/><br/>Two options came to mind: Tamaulipas and Ciudad Juarez. So then he began his strategy to enter to these territories; so on one side he invaded Tamaulipas, while the other declared war to the Juarez Cartel, then in September 2004 he sent to kill the natural successor of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, Rodolfo Carrillo Fuentes, known as &quot;El Niño de Oro&quot;.
<br/><br/>In subsequent years, the fraction led by Chapo Guzman was strengthened and began the invasion of Ciudad Juarez, which was then led by Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, El Viceroy.
<br/><br/>It was from 2008 that Chapo Guzman created an army of kaibiles and former military called Los Pelones, and Los Chapos, to face La Linea, the armed wing of El Viceroy.
<br/><br/>For their part they formed a group of former inmates known as Los Aztecas, which included addicts and homeless, who were armed to the teeth to fight the invaders of Sinaloa.
<br/><br/>The war lasted until 2012, when the two armed groups reached an agreement, and Los Pelones, in December 2012, joined the Juarez Cartel, leaving only Los Chapos to control the territory gained.
<br/><br/>But after the arrest of Chapo, in 2014, the truce ended, and now most of Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua State is controlled by the La Linea, the new leaders of the cartel.
<br/><br/>Box:
<br/><br/>Years dressed in blood
<br/><br/>Ciudad Juarez is a city of just over 1.5 million inhabitants and is located a few meters from the border city of El Paso, Texas. Ironically, while Juarez was considered the most dangerous and violent city in the world, El Paso, Texas was reputed to be the safest city in the United States.
<br/><br/>Concerts generally done in Juarez were performed between 2010 and mid-2012, in El Paso, including a concert by El Kommander, a singer of narcocorridos.
<br/><br/>This is a box of homicides in Chihuahua from 2005 to 2014, according to INE and the PGJE of that state:
<br/><br/>Year, Number of Homicides
<br/><br/>2005 569
<br/><br/>2006 648
<br/><br/>2007 518

<b>Juanito Carrizales &quot;98&quot;</b><br/><br/>There were rumors in the past weeks that &quot;98&quot; might have been killed by CDG Metros because Juanito is responsible for the war againts Ciclones of Matamoros. TORO along with Panilo m70, Wero Cleofas, and other CDG commanders even 98 have agreed to a seize fire or truce with Ciclones that is why there has been no shootouts in the past two weeks or so. I am really surprised by the current truce considering 98 killed a close associate of El Orejon or Ciclon 7 back in January 2015 El nino or Ciclon 9 in a jail of Reynosa. 98 reportedly is a good negotiator and seems to have acquire even more power after Gafe's capture. One of &nbsp;the reasons why Juanito &quot;98&quot; is powerful within CDG is because he was born in Nuevo Laredo and as I have said many times before 98 (knows Zetas territories) &nbsp;along with his compadre Gringo and M4 for the incursions into Nvo Laredo in 2012. Also, a short story about Juanito &quot;98&quot; back in 2012 I read a comment in the Borderland Beat main page.. Anyways It said that 98 shot Z42 3 three or something like that and that is why Omar Z42 walks kind of chueco.. Z42 was given the nickname &quot;Pata chuecha&quot; or &quot;crooked leg&quot;.. This has been confirmed by many that 98 shot Z42.. Z40 and 98 also hate each other.. Z40 killed El Tubi Carrizales in 2010 (uncle of Juanito &quot;98&quot;).
<br/><br/>Valor Por Tamaulipas reported this... &quot;alguien puede confirmar? &quot;Compa el comandante 98 sigue siendo el bueno de rio bravo jamas lo desterraron el choco y el miguelito son gente de el solo que manejaron que lo habian matado pero ese mentado 98 sigue siendo el mando de las dos lacras esa del metro 90 y del miguelito metro 56 eso es en rio bravo el comandante 98 cada que entra a rio bravo anda como con 30 blindadas y el va en una escalade nueva blindada&quot;

@ Flama Blanca, &quot;any idea how much time he has?&quot; :
<br/><br/>This is what I've been able to find. &nbsp;Maybe someone who followed the whole Sinaloa/Baja tunnel story has more info.
<br/><br/>About two years ago, the US was still waiting for a response to it's formal extradition request for Sánchez Villalobos. &nbsp;But get this: &nbsp;as of that time, Mexico had not charged him with anything. He was being held solely because of the pending extradition request. &nbsp;Has this changed in the last two years? &nbsp;I don't know. Now that he's done his job helping El Chapo out of prison, will Mexico let him go?

<br/><br/><b>A Test of Drug War Teamwork
<br/>U.S. Awaits Mexican Response to Request for Extradition of Major Cartel Suspect</b><br/><br/>By
<br/>Tamara Audi and
<br/>Nicholas Casey
<br/><br/>April 1, 2013 8:54 p.m. ET
<br/><br/>SAN DIEGO—Federal officials celebrated in March (2013) when Mexico extradited César Alfredo Meza-García to the U.S. to face charges that he runs a drug-smuggling cell for a Tijuana cartel.
<br/><br/>The extradition, one of the first under recently elected Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, suggests Mexico might continue its record of extraditing scores of cartel operatives to the U.S., federal officials and border experts say. <b>But the real test, these people say, is whether Mexico hands over a bigger catch: José Sánchez-Villalobos, whom U.S. prosecutors describe as the &quot;chief financial officer&quot; for the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel.</b><br/><br/>Last year (Fall 2012), <b>a federal grand jury in San Diego indicted Mr. Sánchez-Villalobos on 13 counts</b>, including conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and construction and finance of a tunnel, stemming from his alleged backing of<b>&nbsp;two of the largest, most sophisticated drug-smuggling tunnels on the Southwest border</b>, according to court documents. U.S. officials asked Mexico to send him to San Diego to face prosecution; nearly a year later, they are still awaiting an answer.
<br/><br/>That delay is raising questions among some U.S. law-enforcement officials about the level of cooperation they can expect from the Mexican administration in investigating and extraditing major cartel figures, after years of close law-enforcement collaboration under former President Felipe Calderón.
<br/><br/>&quot;People are looking at this extradition because he's a high-ranking member of the drug cartel and he's been in custody over a year, and his extradition is still pending,&quot; said Sherri Walker Hobson, the U.S. Attorney prosecuting his case in San Diego. &quot;We're in a wait-and-see period.&quot;
<br/><br/>A spokesman for Mr. Peña Nieto declined to comment on specific cases but said the security cooperation under the president's predecessors would continue. &quot;There are no intentions of changing policies with the U.S. when it comes to fighting crime, which includes extraditions,&quot; he said.
<br/><br/>The Mexican Attorney General's Office didn't respond to requests for information on the case, which it said was classified. Officials in Mexico's Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the case after repeated requests.
<br/><br/>Guadalupe Valencia, a lawyer representing Mr. Sánchez-Villalobos, said his client denied the U.S. charges in Mexican courts. &quot;I think the American government is waiting to see what position the Mexican government is going to take on these extraditions and I don't think the verdict is out yet,&quot; he said, adding that if Mr. Sánchez-Villalobos were extradited, &quot;that would be significant because of who [prosecutors] say he is.&quot;
<br/><br/>Extraditions can take time, lawyers and experts say. Mr. Meza-García didn't contest his extradition, according to people with knowledge of the case, which helped speed the process. He pleaded not guilty to the charges, his lawyer said.
<br/><br/><b>Mr. Sánchez-Villalobos, who has been in jail in Mexico since his arrest in January 2012, is fighting extradition</b>, his lawyer said, and hasn't yet exhausted his appeals. Mexican authorities arrested him in connection with a $15 million cash seizure believed by U.S. officials to be drug profits, U.S. officials said. - (the story above says a Mexican court ordered his extradition in December, 2013. &nbsp;And Sánchez Villalobos appealed that decision. El Chapo was arrested a couple months later...) -
<br/><br/><i><b>The Mexican government decided not to charge him, his lawyer and U.S. officials said, but Mr. Sánchez-Villalobos remains in custody in connection with the U.S. charges, his lawyer and U.S. officials said.</b></i><br/><br/>In Mexico, as in the U.S., courts play an important role in extradition decisions. But presidential policies can affect extraditions, often viewed as a barometer of foreign relations, experts said.
<br/><br/>&quot;Extradition became a key symbol of U.S.-Mexico cooperation&quot; in the past decade, said David Shirk, director of the Trans-Border Institute at the University of California, San Diego.
<br/><br/><b>The U.S. asked Mexico to extradite Mr. Sánchez-Villalobos while Mr. Calderón was still in power. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) sent a letter urging the former Mexican president before he left office to hand over Mr. Sánchez-Villalobos. U.S. officials said that at the time, Mexican officials were likely still looking into whether they might file charges against him, <i>but the deadline for that has passed.</i></b><br/><br/>Extraditions were once taboo in Mexico, where nationalism ran high and the country chose to go it alone fighting drug traffickers. But after Mexico made a transition from one-party rule in 2000, its new leaders vowed to increase cooperation with the U.S., culminating in a $2 billion security-assistance package from Washington.
<br/><br/>The fruits of the new cooperation were seen particularly on the matter of extraditions. Between 2000 and 2006, when Vicente Fox was president, Mexico extradited 223 people to the U.S. Between 2007 and 2012, when Mr. Calderón was in power, the number more than doubled to 587, according to U.S. Department of Justice records. A U.S. Justice Department spokesman declined to say how many extradition requests the U.S. has pending with Mexico.
<br/><br/>So far, Mr. Peña Nieto has vowed to continue in the steps of his predecessors. But his Institutional Revolutionary Party &quot;has traditionally painted itself as a defender of Mexican sovereignty…against U.S. influence,&quot; Mr. Shirk said. &quot;That has raised concerns from U.S. authorities because [Mr.] Peña Nieto has not articulated the same kind of enthusiastic support for cooperation with the U.S. that we saw under&quot; Mr. Calderón, he added.
<br/><br/>During the tenures of Messrs. Fox and Calderón, Mexico transferred dozens of members of the once-powerful Arellano Félix cartel to the U.S. for prosecution—including 10 major figures, said John Kirby, a former federal prosecutor involved in those cases. He is now a criminal-defense attorney and represents Mr. Meza-García, the Mexican man extradited last month.
<br/><br/>Though it remains uncertain whether that level of collaboration will endure, the Meza-García extradition has U.S. officials hopeful. &quot;It's a signal of the cooperation we've enjoyed with Mexico,&quot; said Derek Benner, special agent in charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in San Diego. &quot;And hopefully it's a signal that cooperation will continue.&quot;

by Paris Alejandro Salazar
<br/><br/>The territorial dispute between three drug cartels has triggered a wave of violence and insecurity in Veracruz in recent days, with a balance of 22 dead so far, without the state and federal authorities being able to stop the onslaught of organized crime groups.
<br/><br/>Los Zetas, the New Generation Jalisco Cartel (CJNG) and the Gulf Cartel (CDG) are seeking control of routes for drug smuggling to the United States, fuel theft and other crimes.
<br/><br/>The three organizations are fighting for control of the ports of Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz and Tuxpan, which are the gateway of chemical precursors for making synthetic drugs and departure to Europe and Russia. In recent years drug labs have been dismantled in the municipalities of Ursulo Galvan, Coatzacoalcos and Actopan.
<br/><br/>On Saturday 25 July, three people suspected of being traffickers, were found in the trunk of a taxi on a highway in the municipality of Yanga. The next day five young men were found with signs of torture in the state capital; and two mangled bodies were found on different roads.
<br/><br/><b>A fight between cartels</b><br/><br/>The Gulf Cartel had supremacy in Veracruz through its armed wing Los Zetas. In 2009 the Millennium Cartel and the Sinaloa Cartel joined in to integrate a group of assassins called &quot;Los Mata Zetas&quot; to face their rivals.
<br/><br/>Arrests and deaths of the leaders within the groups have given way to a division of power. Los Zetas separated from the Gulf Cartel in 2010 to form its own criminal organization and defend their presence in Veracruz after expelling their former teammates who took refuge in Tamaulipas.
<br/><br/>The Mata Zetas emerged in the west of the country to form the New Generation Jalisco Cartel. One of its first ventures was the massacre of September 20, 2011, with 49 corpses in the streets of Boca del Rio, Veracruz, and they even released a video in which they offered &quot;apologies&quot; to the people of Mexico and federal corporations.
<br/><br/>Los Zetas was established in Veracruz and were prepared to face their rivals, so they enlisted their henchmen. In September 2014 the army and federal police dismantled training camps belonging to Los Zetas in the municipality of Acultzingo.
<br/><br/>The CDG Veracruz seeks to control and prevent the passage of Los Zetas drug shipments in Tamaulipas to the United States; the latter face the onslaught of CJNG, which seeks to conquer the ports.
<br/><br/>Veracruz are facing the struggle between three cartels, a scenario that is the prelude to a possible announcement of federal forces operations.

Mexico City (AFP) - Police from the Americas to Europe and Australia have joined forces in a &quot;marathon&quot; to catch Mexican drug lord Joaquin &quot;El Chapo&quot; Guzman, a top US law enforcement official said.
<br/><br/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Almost three weeks after Guzman's brazen jailbreak, US Drug Enforcement Administration Deputy Administrator Jack Riley told AFP he was &quot;optimistic&quot; the Sinaloa drug cartel kingpin will be recaptured, though it will be tough.
<br/><br/>&quot;The hunt for him is a marathon, not a sprint,&quot; the DEA's number two official said in a telephone interview from Washington.
<br/><br/>&quot;We learned when we grabbed him the first time that it wasn't easy, so obviously it's kind of a cat and mouse game for us now.&quot;
<br/><br/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The DEA provided crucial intelligence to help Mexican authorities catch Guzman in February 2014, 13 years after his first prison escape.
<br/><br/>But he fled again on July 11, slipping down a tunnel under a maximum-security prison outside Mexico City.
<br/><br/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;US and Mexican authorities have been working &quot;shoulder to shoulder&quot; since then, Riley said, rejecting reports that President Enrique Pena Nieto's administration was reluctant to accept US help.
<br/><br/>- Global manhunt -
<br/><br/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;While Guzman may be hiding on his home turf in the northwestern state of Sinaloa, police from around the world are on the case, relying on human intelligence and electronic surveillance to track him down.
<br/><br/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&quot;We work with our Mexican counterparts with all the information they have south of the border, and other places in Central and South America and even in Europe and Australia -- all of that information is funneling together to get a big picture,&quot; Riley said.
<br/><br/>&quot;For years, Chapo banked on the fact that cops were not talking to cops. But I can assure you that we are doing it better now than we have ever done it, and if I was Chapo, I would be looking over my shoulder.&quot;
<br/><br/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The investigation has gone global because the large and powerful Sinaloa &quot;has tentacles all over the place,&quot; and any information could &quot;help us track him down or track someone very close to him down,&quot; Riley said.
<br/><br/>- Hiding in Sinaloa? -
<br/><br/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Guzman's second jailbreak has fueled a debate about whether Mexico should have extradited him or other drug lords to the United States.
<br/><br/>While the DEA will &quot;certainly&quot; ask for Guzman's extradition if he is caught, Riley said he understood why Mexicans wanted to try him first as he is been responsible for countless deaths in Mexico.
<br/><br/>&quot;Here's my read on it: I just want the guy in jail somewhere because that's where he belongs,&quot; he said.
<br/><br/>US officials suspect Guzman has gone to Sinaloa's remote mountains, where he has nurtured a Robin Hood image among locals.
<br/><br/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&quot;I can see if I was him returning to Sinaloa where I control the surroundings, I probably have a security force that rivals many police departments, and I'm in a situation where I can be forewarned if the good guys are making a move on me,&quot; Riley said.
<br/><br/>Guzman, 58, has probably sought to &quot;consolidate his authority&quot; over the cartel since his escape, he said.
<br/><br/>While his capture weakened the group, it remained the country's biggest criminal organization, with Guzman's children and closest associates sharing the leadership.
<br/><br/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://borderland-beat-forum.924382.n3.nabble.com/file/n4086530/Screenshot_2015-07-30-15-41-04-1.png" border="0" class="center"/><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/cops-us-australia-hunt-mexico-capo-dea-032241860.html" target="_top" rel="nofollow" link="external">https://www.yahoo.com/news/cops-us-australia-hunt-mexico-capo-dea-032241860.html</a>&quot;If the CEO who ran your company with a tight fist for 20 years was suddenly removed from power, the organization itself shutters, alliances become in flux, people become somewhat independent when before they were waiting for orders, communication becomes undisciplined,&quot; Riley said.
<br/><br/>&quot;That's really an opportunity for law enforcement on both sides of the border to make substantial hits, and I really believe that we did.&quot;
<br/><br/>But the hunt is back on.
<br/><br/>Asked whether it could take years to find Guzman, Riley said: &quot;No, and I'll tell you why: because I don't have years left on this job, and I'm not leaving until this guy's hooked up (captured).&quot;

<br/>by REUTERS
<br/>SHARE
<br/><br/>In a bold response to the gender-driven killing of 11 women, the Mexican state has handed down an unprecedented sentence of 697 years in prison to five men in northern Mexico. On top of the prison time of nearly 700 years each, those sentenced also have to pay a total of 9 million pesos ($550,000) in damages to the families of the victims, whose bodies were found in 2012.
<br/><br/>The historic sentence is the longest-ever given for a femicide, the killing of a woman due to her gender.
<br/><br/>In 2008, Ciudad Juarez recorded a woman missing each day, a story that reverberated around the world as the plight of the women and their families made regular headlines.
<br/><br/>It is believed that 3,892 women were murdered in Mexico between 2012 and 2013, but only 16 percent of cases were investigated as femicides, according to the National Citizen Femicide Observatory.
<br/><br/>Scientific evidence was the basis of the sentence, said an official at the attorney general's office in the state of Chihuahua, home of the border city of Ciudad Juarez.
<br/><br/>In the past, authorities have prosecuted gender-driven killings but have not always handed down long prison sentences due to the ambiguity around declaring killings as femicides, as well as the overall high rate of crimes that go unpunished in Mexico.
